mem h The Extradition of Mazzini. d emanded the extr a diti on of Mazzini from England be at our bands by the French Govern. me at? The Law Times of to-day argues in the negative thus distinctly as follows The Paris Pipers, p art i cularly the Gazette de France, attach g re at importance to this fresh sentence against inasmuch as they think it enables the _ F rench Gov ernment to apply for h i s extra d ition , or at least his expulsion from England. Both, we may take the liberty of informing the French law yers, are out of the question. The convention be tween the Q ueen of this country an d t h e K ing o f t he French, of the 13th Feb., 1843, was, that the contracting parties should, on requisition made in their name, through their respective diplomatic agents, d e li ver up to justiee persons who, being ac cused of t h e crimes of murder (comprehend i ng the crimest designated by th e French penal code by the er.ale, assassination, parricide, infanticide, and pms,ening),orof an att e mpt to commit murder," corn taitLed within the jurisdiction of the requiring party, should see k an asy l um or s h ou ld b e f oun d 'thin the territories of the other." Accordingly the 6th and 7th Vi ct ., c . 7 5 ,: for carrying the Con vention into eff ec t, provides for the surrender of persons who, being accused of having committed mu rder or of an a t tempt to mur d er w ithin the territories the and jurisdiction of the King of French, s h a ll b e f oun d i n the Queen's do minions.. The Act omits the words " seek an 1 ) 118)111 . 02 p" which are in the Convention. Probably arliament was jealous of words which have a Political rather than a criminal association. But there can b e no d ou b t that t h e A c t, as we ll as th e Co nvention, speaks of persons only who commit Within the French jurisdiction the crimes specified, q ui tting that juri s di c tion, flee to, and are found in the British dominions. If it was from the brewery and from Thurloe square, or any other . place in tendon, th a t M azz i n i pu ll e d th e s t r i ngs ( if he did at all), c l early he is not a person w i t h in t h e Convention or the Act. As to expulsion from England, unless in the execution of a sentence of penal servitude, there is no such power in the British execntive against a fo reigner any more than a nat i ve. I t i s true t h at i n June, 1848, when there was a fear (groundless or otherwise ) that foreign agitators might combine 'with the Chartists to overthrow British society, or the British constitution, w hi c h means th e same thing, an Act (11 Vict. c. 20) was passed giving to a Secretary of State who, on authentic written in formation, believed such a step expedient for pre. serving the "peace and tranquillity" of any part of the realm, power to order the removal of any alien. tut that Act was made to continue only to the end of the next session, and then expired, In case of the existence, and communication to the British Government. of evidence showing the complicity of any person, whether alien or British subject, in a plot to murder the Emperor, the only proceeding of wbieh the French Go vernment could call for the adoption would be a prosecution under the 4th section of the Consolida tion Act relating to offences against the person: (24 and 25 Vict. c. 100.) All aeonsp who shall conspire, confederate and agree to murder y person, whether he be a subject of her Majesty or not, and whether he be within the Queen's dominions or not, and whosoever shall solicit, encourage, persuade, or endeavour to der any persuade, or shall propose to any person, to ,Tur other person, ' whether ho bo a subject of her 'l"Jesty or no t and whether he be within the Queen's dominions or not, shall be guilty of a misdemeanour, and of convict e d t h ereo f s h a ll b e li a bl e, at the discretion of the court, to be kept in penal servitude for any term Sot more than ten, and not less than three years, or to or im prisoned for any term not exceeding two years, with without hard labour. XONEY MARKET AN D COAIMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. T CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is rather less inquiry for discount accom thedation, and the market appears a shade easier, co nsequent upon the payment of the dividends at the Bank of England. lastead of paying 6 per ce nt' the mercantile community can now get ac commodation on the last three months' bill at 5 Per cent. There was very little alteration yesterday after boon in the Continental exchanges, but the rates on Austria were rather less favourable. S ince Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to £445,800, and the exports to £936,400, Another project just introduced is the Imperial Ettilr. of China; it is brought before the public by the Credit Mobilier. The capital is £1,000,000, in 2 0,000 shares of £5O each, the first issue being 10,000 shares. China is stated to be the only large country in the civilised world which has no direct bank in London operating solely for its benefit, and this company has therefore been formed to supply an acknowledged want on the plan which has been so successfully carried out in London by the banks for India and other similar institutions. The Imperial Bank of China will transact all ope rations connected with those of a bank of issue, deposit, discount, and exchange. Its directing and controlling authority will be in London, with branches and local boards at Hong Kong, Canton, Shanghai, Fooehoo, Tientsin, Pekin, and such other C ities as may from time to time be found desirable. The shares are 2 to 3 prem. Among the latest additions to the list of new , n n . dertakings is the Millwall Iron Works Ship n_tulding and Graving Docks Company intro (la!ed by the Mercantile Credit Association and the credit Mobilier. The capital required is £2,000,000 111 4 0,009 shares of £5O each, of which 20,000 have already been subscribed. It has been formed to Purchase and extend the well known business hitherto carried on by private capitalists under the fi rm of the Millwall Iron Works aud Shipbuilding C ompany. The capabilities of the establishment or the production of every class of iron work are 11 .,,,rpassed. The company has also purc hased the ti rttannia Graving or Dry Dock now in efficient Wor king, and the whole of the property has been o btained_ upon terms which are co nsidered hi g hl y f avourable. The share are quoted 21- 3 prem. A four and a half per cent. Sw edish Government Loan for £2,223,000 sterling has just been an nounced. The loan is raised by virtue of an Act passed by the Four Estates composing the Swedish Reichsrath, under the date of October 23, 1863, ratified by his .Majesty the King of Sweden, a nd has been contracted for by the Reichschulden Comptoir (Public Debt•office) with Messrs. J. H. Schroder and Co., of Landon, and other associated capitalists. It is enacted that the proceeds of this loan shall be applied exclusively to the extension and Construction of railroads in the kingdom of Sweden. Bonds will be issued in sums of £l,OOO, £5OO, £2OO, £lOO, with coupons, payable in sterling half-yearly in London on the 15th April and 15th October at the counting-house of Messrs. S.

Scrip receipts for sums of £l,OOO, £&00, £2OO, - "CIO, will be issued by IkIeSSTS. J. Henry Schrader and Co., and after completion of the payments be "rchanged f or bonds of the like designation after receipt of the same fro m Stockholm. A -inking fund is provided for, whereby the loan will be redeemed at par in the course of 6 years, by half-yearly drawings the first Which will take effect on 15th of Octobar next. ti ll ' Swedish Government, however, reser ves the _ rt to repay the whole loan at par after the ex fl ration of 15 years from this time.

THE WAR IN DENMARK (Front the Times Special Correspondent at the Danish Head- quarters.) ULKEBOL, April 3. The final day has come for poor Sonderborg, and I have been fairly routed out of it. I closed my last letter at about 7 o'clock in the morning, sad being anxious, according to my wont, to post it with my own hands, I sailed forth from the Hotel Hey muth. To walk from this place to the lower town was an enterprise of no trifling danger. What is calved the " Royal," or town, .pcst•office had been struck with two shells and was a mass of ruins. The jeld, or military post, was fucking in breath less haste, with no great chance of avoiding the same fate. The furious cannonade of yesterday afternoon had wrought far greater mischief than we were aware of. I stated that the dead and wounded among the townspeople were last evening at 9 o'clock about 22. Their number before the night was over had risen to 57. Since daybreak the shower of shells, had recommenced with the utmost violence, and the shells, which had hitherto spent their fury among the buildings of the lower town, now took a bolder flight above the whole extent of its habitation up to the height of the towering windmills. There was no safety in any part of Sonderborg. The head quarters were packing hurriedly, and General Gerlach, with all his Staff, was making ready for a flitting to Ulkebol, where the hospitality of my good friend Parson Meyer awaited them. The terror and desolation of the town had reached its climax. A great many pf last evening's fugitives, turn ing from imminent danger without a thought of the future, had only quitted their houses in the maritime quarters of the town to repair to the friendly the people in the upper town. higher regions had become in the dwellings at of morning as unsafe as the rest, and the train of the fugitives was swelling at every minute. Only one or two tenements were in flames in the course of yesterday afternoon, and the gallant Copenhagen fire brigade had been able to stem the violence of the flames and prevent its spread. This morning no less than 20 houses were burning, and as the wind freshened there was every prospect of a general conflagration. The number of houses all but levelled with the ground began to be appalling. The Itadhuns or Council house, the Holsteinishe Haus and the Alssund, two mean hostelries of the lower town, were mere wrecks, The Burgomaster and the head officer at the Board of Health had been driven from roofless dwellings. The apothecary's house, a large building where the head-quarters had been established, was clean gone, and the same fate had befallen the adjoining watchmaker's. As we heard these particulars of yesterday's havoc, the destruc tion of to-day gained ground upon us. The advance of the shells was overwhelming us like the progress of an irresistible tide. There was nothing left for the most obstinate to do, but ge, and the signal for my own departure was of course given by the re moval of the headquarters. Sonderborg is gone or going, and it seems as if the Prussians had deter mines not to leave one stone of it upon another. Yesterday's cannonade was mainly directed against the Dybbol bastions, and the shells that assailed the town from the batteries of Broager land seemed to be fired almost incidentally by way of wanton amusement, and were apparently in tended rather to frighten than to do much real harm. But this morning the whole rage of the Prussian cannon spent itself on the devoted town. Disap pointment at their ill success in Sundewed seems to have made the assailants perfectly savago against the helpless capital of Alsen. Unable to show their bravery in a storming attack upon Danish bayonets. the Prussians did not shrink from the unprofitable sacrifice of an open town. The Danes are furious at what they call a " dastardly outrage, a breach of all the laws of war, and a departure from all the prin ciples of modern civilisation. It was to retrieve their character as a fighting nation," they say, " that the Prussians, after being worsted in so many encoun ters, solicited the post of honour before Dybbol, and reared against that position such a force of artillery as ought to have blown it and its defen ders to atoms. Yet they were not content with achieving by a cannonade what they durst not effect by assault; but their very cannon are not pointed at the breasts of men standing up in their defence, but against a miserable crowd of women and chil dren almost as much at a loss how to fly as they are unable to fight." _ I have been willing to make myself the interpret. ter of this universal outcry of the Danes, because, neutral as I endeavour to make myself on all their subjects of dispute, I really believe it would be dif ficult to find a good excuse for the behaviour of the Prussians in this bombardment of Sonderborg, even if they acted on the necessities sometimes imposed upon a weaker party by the natural laws of self preservation, and even if the war were on their part a defensive, instead of an aggressive one. The gene ral in command against Fredericia did not open the bombardment of the city without a timely intima tion to its inhabitants, allowing them 24 hours to withdraw from its walls; yet Fredericia was a for tified place, and the people who remained in it might be thought to have cast their lot in with that of their part garrison, of the while Sonderborg is hardly an integral Dybbol line of bastions, all which might be taken before any necessity arose to offer Sonderborg the alternative between surrender and destruction, them and the as a thousand garrison, You must imagine the w h o l e o f th e 2 , 000 inhabi spread along every road and lane in the island, ap plying for quarters at ever y farmhouse, f men sudd e a n n l y d o t a ffi n c t e a r s o f billeted Sonderborg, upon vil lage, hamlet, and but, already for the last nine weeks as full of military guests of every de gree as houses, stables, barns, and straw-lofts can afford, and then consider what probabilities there may be of a stranger applying for lodgings with success from door to door, especially if this luck less stranger happen to have six other house less fellows, who must needs be taken in with him or sleep with him in the open. All I can say, by way of illustrating the condition of this little island io the present straits, is, that by a ruse de guerre, perfectly justifiable under the circumstances, I and each of my companions, with a view to insert the thih edge of the wedge, presented ourselves singly before as many of the masters of the little fishing boats moored at the piers of Horup Hay, and asked if they happened to have room for one in their narrow hold, and the answer was that they had all been bespoken—some for two, some for three families of Sonderborg citizens, and that they were not at liberty to dispose of one inch of ground either on deck or below. .... 161 ...... THE BOMBARDMENT OF DUPPEL. (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) COPENIUGEN April 4. The following are the lat est reports from head quarters received at t he Mini stry of War : April 2, 7 p.m .-Advices fro m head-quarters to 5 p.m. report that the bombardment of the position at Duppel con tinued. The fires which had broken out in Sonderborg were of some extent. Our loss in wounded was less to-day. April 3, Noon.—Advices from head. quarters to 10 45 a.m. announce that single shuts only were occasionally directed against the town and the position during the night. Several alarms were given at various times along the line of outposts. Attacks were made upon patrols, upon the sen tries, and upon the parties guarding the trenchPs, but after slight skirmishing the enemy withdrew. Two men of the 10th Regiment were killed. The fire in Sonderborg has now been extinguished. April 4, 10 45 a.m.—The bombardment of Sonderborg has ceased since 6 o'clock this morning. A third of the town has been burnt, in addition to which numbers of houses in a wide circumference have been damaged by shell. Several places are still in flames. The Town.hall is burnt down. A few shots have only been directed at Duppel. April 5, 9 15 a.m.—The artillery engagement at Duppel was continued yesterday with energy, but the bombardment of Sonderborg has been discontinued. The enemy has thrown up several batteries upon the northern shore of the Alsen sound, from one of which, at Petersdal, he kept up a violent fire yesterday against the war vessels lying in Slesvig. A pontoon train has been seen in the vicinity of Ballesgaard," The screw corvette Heimdal, from the Sound, ar rived here yesterday evening, with a screw frigate, built for war service, but without guns, and under jury-masts. The Heimdal sighted this vessel car rying the English fl ig in the neighbourhood of Elsinore. As s h e presented a most suspicious ap pearance, she was ordered to lay to, but disregarded the order, whereupon the Heimdal fired a shot acmes her bows and brought her up. The Captain stated that he was bound for Copenhagen to offer the ship to the Danish Government, bat, as there was reason to suppose her intended for Dantsic or some other Pru9sian port, the Commander of the Heimdal thought it best to bring the suspicious stranger into this port. DECLARAT lON OF THE HOLSTEIN ESTATES. KIEL, April 5. A large majority of the members of the Holstein Estates (40 out of 49) met to-day in extraordinary Session, and unanimously passed the following de claration : " We, the undersigned Deputies to the Holstein Assembly of Estates at present consisting of 49 members, solemnly declare, with regard to the Con ference of European Powers about to assemble in London, as follows : " We protest against every, decision may be come to at the above Conference, respecting the future of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, and in especial with regard to the person of the suc cessor to the throne vacated by the death of the King Duke Frederick VII., without the opinion of the country being first taken as to the hereditary right of his successor. We further declare every recogni tion of any such successor by the European Powers without the previous consent of the country as not legally valid and binding upon the same. " We declare, moreover, hereby as the rights of this couutry before God and man "1. That the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein are independent States, inseparably connected with each other for ever. " 2. That by lineal succession and primogeniture the male line of the Oldenburg Royal House is ex clusively called to the throne. "3. That Christian IX., King of Denmark, is therefore in no way rightfully entitled to the throne of the Duchies, being excluded by agnates of nearer claims, but that the London Treaty of May 8, 1852, together with the Danish succession law of the 31st of July, 1853, are not legally binding upon the Duchies ; the former because foreign Powers in no way possess the right of disposition over a country not belonging to them, and the latter because not ratified by the assent of the Schleswig and Holstein Assembly of Estates, the agnates, and the Germanic Confederation. _ _ "4. The nearest claimant among the now living Princes of the House of Oldenburg, after the re nunciation of his father, is Duke Frederick of S c hl es wig-Holstein-Sonderborg-Augustenburg,who has already declared that he has assumed the Go• vernment as Duke Frederick VIII. of Schleswig and Holstein. "We further declare that the voice of the coun try, agreeing herewith, has unmistakably expressed its desire, in numerous petitions to the General Federal Diet, and in addresses of devotion and deputations to Duke Frederick VIII. from the Schleswig-Holstein nobility, the University, the clergy, the teachers, and the towns and rural districts of Holstein as well as Schleswig, to recognise Duke Frederick of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderborg-Au gustenburg as the sole and only rightful successor to the throne, and has testified the readiness of the people to sacrifice life and property in his service es their legitimate Sovereign. "Finally, we here by protest most solemnly against every arrangement of the European Powers by which an illegal ruler shall be forced upon the Duchie?, contrary to their expressed wishes, and by which the connexion with the kingdom of Denmark Mai tiveiy severed by the de , :th of Frederick VII. shall be restored by force. We cast upon the originators of any such arrangement the responsibility of the inevitable disadvantages and dangers to the tran quillity and peace of our country, of Germany, and of Europe, "Kiel, April 5, 1864." (The signatures follow.) The Armstrong and Whitworth Trials, Yesterday the competitive trials betweon the Armstrong and Whitworth 12-pounder field-guns were continued at Shoebury, in the presence of an unusual number of distinguished visitors. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, with Earl de Grey, Sir John Burgoyne, Sir Edward Lugard, General St. George, Capt. Galton, ILE., General Rumley, the chairman of the Special Committee, and all the members of the Committee, Lord Tor rington, Admiral Talbot, Sir William Armstrong, Mr. Whitworth, Colonel Boxer, Colonel Gambier, Colonel Lefroy, and a large number of other offi cere, both naval and military, were present on this occasion. Before stating what was effected yesterday we may inform our readers that the programme of the trials to be gone through with the guns in the course of the competition involves every possible contin gency, mishap, and accident which could by any means, short of utterly disabling the pieces, occur to them in the roughest and most rapid service. Each competitor is represented by three guns of each kind allowed to compete—namely, 12-pounders as field guns, and 70-pounders as guns of position. Sir William, therefore, comes forward with three 12- pounder breech-loaders, and three muzzle-loading shunt guns of the same calibre. Mr. Whitworth, as bringing forward only one species of gun, has only three 12-pounders, rifled on his hexagonal principle. Sir William's are built guns on the wrought-iron coil plan, while those of Mr. Whitworth are cast of the homogeneous metal (which is only a hard name for a very soft steel) strengthened by coils of the same metal, forced on outside the gun by hydraulic pressure. These pieces, as we have said, are to be tested in every possible and almost impossible man ner for range and accuracy—with solid, shrapnel, segment, and common shell; against earthworks, embrasures, and itockades ; for ricochet, point blank, and long-range firing; how they will bear embarcation and disembarcatiun, how they will answer in boats,how against abattis,brushwood, and villages. Boxesof the ammunition are to be sent tra velling byland and sea all over and round the kingdom to see how they each bear transport ; and at one part of the trial the guns will be upset in a wet ditch and left for a night, in order to ascertain, when got out next morning, which is soonest cleaned and ready for quick service with shot and shell. Above all, the trials are to include what will be the most severe test of all—that of seeing which of the guns will break down under continuous discharges as rapidly as the pieces can be loaded and fired. When we say break down, we of course do not mean burst, but be come strained, injured in their rifling, or damaged in any way. When all has been gone through, 3,000 . rounds are to be fired from each gun, which is then to be burst with gradually increasing charges. It will be seen, therefore, that it would be next to impossible to devise a more exhaustive system of trials than those which have to be carried out, and whoever wins will not win without having effected every known purpose to which a gun can be put in the field, with many others to which it was never intended to put guns at all. The competition commenced on Monday last, but the first trials, though of course forming part of the programme, have hitherto been of such a merely preliminary nature that their results in detail would b e a l m ost unintelligible, and certainly uninteresting to our readers. Nothing has as yet been effected on either side to point to the probable issue of the contest, and it would therefore he quite premature to attempt any expression of opinion on this subject. One thing, however, may be said—that, as far as this week's firing goes, the contest between the Arm strong shunt gun and the Whitworth has been very close—so close, indeed, that until the official returns are made out it would be hazardous to say which has had the best. Whether they will maintain this equality at longer ranges and under different condi tions of trial remains to be seen, but up to the pre sent, as far as accuracy is concerned, it may be fairly said they are both perfect guns. The Armstrong breech-loader thi; week has unquestionably shot the worst of the three ; in fact, it is stated that this gun, specially made for the trial, shoots below the average accuracy of the field guns of the same kind in the service. The defect is attributed to some minor alterations introduced specially into thi s piece for the competition, which have not turned out so successful in practice es it was thought they would prove. It is said that at shell practice this gun will carry all before it; and, in fact, the result of yesterday's firing proves this to be mainly a true opinion. But in respect of accuracy with solid shot, its performances have been below those of Sir William's shunt gu❑ and the Whit- Worth, and between these ordnance, therefore, the contest for supremacy during the week has lain, without any superiority being shown by either on which it would be safe to base predictions for the future. Yesterday, after a few shots at targets of 1,300 yards (an almost impossible range for the old , smooth-bore field - guns), the experiments were con firmed, to show the Effect of the three guns on earthworks, the ordinary field fortifications behind which armies intrench themselves against superior forces. For this purpose they were trained at the same range cf three.quarters of a mile upon a small fieldwork, surrounded with a strong abbatis or chevaux-de jrise of felled trees, behind which was a palisaded ditch—that is, a deep, dry fosse with a high, strong wooden fence in the centre, but out of sight of the attacking forces tilt they should be actually in the ditch itself, Two of the embrasures were formed of gabions on Sergeant Major Jones's plan—that is, of gabions of bands of galvanised iron woven round stakes, like basket-work ; while one embrasure was built up on Captain Tyler's plan —a mere open cylinder of thin iron, filled in like the others, with sand. In the embrasures were placed three unserviceable guns, while the artillerymen that would be required to work each piece were re presented by six dummy figures, made of deal, and placed in their proper quarters at each side of the ordnance, though, of course, as in actual service, under cover of the earthwork. The guns commenced on this with solid shot at 1,300 yards, firing five rounds each,when the damage was inspected and the attack resumed with segment shell, with percussion and time fuses, and so on again at a range of 900 yards. It is, of course, quite needless to particularize the individual shots of each gun ; it is enough to say that with all three, and with the Armstrong shunt gun and the Whitworth most especially, the practice was almost marvellous. From where the guns were stationed the openings of the embrasures were like mere specks, like the mathematical definition of a point having no dimensions; yet shot after shot was sent through them at almost every round, in a way that made officers stare and ask each other how long a work could be defended under a fire from many such pieces. The old fault of the Whitworth hexagonal shot, however, was sometimes shown when sufficient elevation was not given to the gun and its shot touched the ground in or near the abbatis in front of the work. When it did so its peen/lir hexagon form made it screw itself up out of the earth almost, to judge by the sound, at right angles with the point at which it entered and go " whirring" up into the air high over the battery. After the solid shot firing was over an examination of the work showed that the aim had been too true with nearly all the guns to have done much damage to the work itself, as the best laid shots had passed through the embrasures. Where they had struck the sides, however, the balance of mischief was certainly in favour of the Armstrong guns, bath of which tr.cl ripped the turf revetments, whereas the holes made by the Whit worth were mostly clean cut. One of IVhitworth's shot had passed along a gun so evenly as to groove it where it touched, and cut clean picces out of its ornamental mouldings near the breech. With the shell firing the practice of all was really wonderful as to accuracy. The two time shells of Sir William and that of Mr. Whitworth , burst almost in a lino full in front of the embrasures, Mr. Whitworth's shell has, however, only just been completed, and more practice is evidently wanted to insure its perfection, :as one of the time fuses was put out by its touching the ground in front in consequence of the gun being laid too low, and one of the percussion fuses failed to explode on striking, while none of Sir William's missed bursting, though not always with the same precision as to place as the three we have alluded to. These, however, as regards Mr. Whitworth, are compara tively minor matters of detail, which no doubt Col. Boxer, who has made his shell, will be easily able to rectify with more practice in its use. Mr.Whit worth's shell contains contains 72 pieces, a few seg ments, but the great majority having ordinary leaden bullets. Sir William's shell contains about the same number of pieces of iron segments, but the bursting charge of Sir William's is nearly twice as great as that of Mr.Whitworth's. An examination of the battery after the shell work had been gone through showed all the dummies at Mr. Whit worth's embrasure to be uninjured by his shells, while the dummies at the two embrasures opposed to Sir William were badly hit—one in particular, having a large hole through its chest and half its gun head gone. The figures at the part at which the breech-loader of Sir William was levelled were most punished of any, showing that the confidence of its friends in its power of firing shell had not been ill-founded. The targets placed at some little distance in rear of each embrasure, to certify by holes to the effect of the shell after it had passed the work, were in favour of Mr. Whitworth, his target showing 17, either per forations or hits, while one of Sir William's showed only six, and that which collected the splinters of the shell from the shunt gun only one. The para pets and embrasures were more cut about by Sir William's shell, and, as we have said, his missiles did execution among the dummy figures of the gunners. One curious fact, however, was brought out by these experiments, which speaks volumes against the use of either Sergeant-Major Jones's or Captain Tyler's plans of iron bands for gabions. This was that one of the wooden gunners was badly hit on the chest by an iron splinter from one of these bands, and the piece left pro truding from the wounded wood. Other pieces, also, were scattered inside the work —not many, certainly, but enough in size and number to prove that the use of these gabions, unless where no wooden ones can be got, as was the case in the Crimea, where they were invented, is to be avoided wherever possible. After this the guns were moved up to a range of 900 yards from the battery, and the pieces, which had hitherto been laid with ouch accuracy by Major Milman, were given over, by request of the compe titors, to their civilian assistants. The result by no means justified the wisdom of the alteration which Sir William and Mr. Whitworth had made, for, to judge by the loose and almost wild firing which now often took place, one would have fancied that the guns had been moved 1,000 yards further off, in stead of 400 yards closer into their mark. It was attempted to account for this by saying that the extreme dryness of the keen east wind dried the fouling of the guns into comparatively hard ob structions, but the opinion of nearly all on the ground was simply that the pieces were not as well laid as they had been before. Except for this im portant difference as to accuracy, almost all the re marks we have made on the trial at 1,300 yards apply to this at 900. The Whitworth shot when it struck the ground in front again turned up clear over the battery, appearing to confirm all that has been urged against this form of projectile by its opponents, that it cannot be relied on for a plung ing or ricoshet fire. In all other respects the result was N ery similar to the previous trial, though the earthwork was, of course, more cutup. Sir William again punished his dummies severely, and again Whitworth failed to injure his, though the state of his target behind the battery showed that his shell only requires that adjustment which can be gained from practice alone to become formidably effective. After this Sir William Armstrong's 600 pounder was fired agrinst a box target. This target had an outer plate of 61 inches of solid iron, backed up by 24 inches of teak, lined with an inner skin of iron 1 inch thick, making 71- inches of iron and 24 inches of teak in all. Big Will" was loaded on this occasion with only 701 b. of powder, but with a conical steel shot of 6121 b. weight. The result of the contest, therefore, excited not the least interest, as this gun only a few weeks since, when loaded with 901 b. of powder, smashed up one of the best of John Brown's 11-inch plates with a steel shot of only 3501 b. weight. Th e gun was beautifull y l a id as to accuracy, though as the distance was only 200 yards there was little merit in this. 'When the signal was given it belched forth its cloud of flame and smoke, running slightly backward as it did so, and sent its shot smash through the target, from which the massive splinters flew like chips. It, of course, went clean through the mark. The outer plate, though one of the best specimen of John Brown and Co.'s manufacture (which is almost Equal to saying the best plate that can be made), was where the shot stru c k d r i ven in before it b odily, through teak a n d i nner lining, and everything —in fact, that part of the target was destroyed—and no more remained to ba done. With this last tremen dous exhibition the experiments of the day ended, and his Royal Highness and the rest of the visitors returned to town. Next week the contest between the guns mill go on at a stockade, and in firing at increased ranges, and during the latter part of it, the real and most important trial of all, the question of en durance—the iffirts to break down the guns by rapid and continuous firing—will be made. Such experiments as those of yesterday are very subordi nate to the real test of all—endurance. In other matters the guns arc equal, as far as the trials have yet gone; for, as we have said, until the official re cords are made out it is almost impossible to say which has had the best, the Armstrong shunt gun or the Whitworth. But the whole issue now de pends on which can be injured first by rough and rapid work at constant firing, and this test will be applied next week. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF -PAST 4 O'CLOCK.
